Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 125 g (1 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
- 125 g (1 cup) wholemeal flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 250 g (1 cup) mashed cooked sweet potato
- 60 ml (¼ cup) sunflower oil
- 60 g (⅓ cup) light brown soft sugar
- 360 ml (1 ½ cups) milk (I used soy)
- 2 large eggs separated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 140°C/275°F/gas mark 1 and place a baking sheet in the oven. Sift together the flours, baking powder, spices and salt and set aside.
- Place the mashed sweet potato in a large bowl and whisk in the oil and brown sugar followed by the milk and egg yolks. Stir in the dry ingredients.
- Place the egg whites in a large, spotlessly clean bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until they just form stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, being careful not to knock out too much of the air.
- Brush the waffle iron generously with oil then use a ladle to portion in the waffle batter. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturers instructions (all waffle irons vary), or until golden. Carefully transfer the cooked waffles to the baking tray in the oven to keep warm. Re-grease the waffle iron and repeat with the rest of the batter.
